I just started reading this, has anyone else read it?

My old high school teacher insisted I read it, and it's excellent, highly recommended and I'm only like a third of the way in.

It's a true story about a brilliant man who, in a nutshell, goes to Haiti and opens his own health clinic there in the poorest most desolate part of that already impoverish nation. His politics are moving, really, enough to make anyone want to get an MD, steal some microscopes and save people in a third world nation. He is very in your face and demands the attention and help of people who can while approaching medicine in a totally new way. He doesn't turn anyone away who can't pay, doesn't overprice things, doesn't ridicule the culture, and becomes embedded, in a way, in the lives of his patients and so saves many lives.

If anyone else has read this, I'd love to discuss the politics in this book.
